I used S13 mounts on an S12 subframe, but I used the S13 brackets (which are required to match the mounts). Benefit of S13 brackets is they bolt to the block via 3 bolts per side (not 2 like on the S12).

Thats all well and good, and you can mount the engine BUT I would like to point out a potential flaw.

I can not tell you if the engine will sit at a different height or not. Whilst this sounds trivial it may effect the angles on the prop shaft and therefore you could experience vibrations due to larger angles on the UJ's. It may be fine (in fact the difference is probably minimal) but I have to point this out as you could find youself with a problem.

I didn't have a problem as I was independantly setting the height of the engine, box and setting the angles up on the Datsun anyway. Only reason I used S13 mounts was coz I wanted to fit nice solid nismo mounts.
